Landgraf

Germany had its herzogs and landgrafs, each of whom had his territories, where he ruled, “monarch of all he surveyed.”

The only building of note is the castle, which was long the residence of the landgrafs of Hessen-Rotenberg.

The landgrafs of Hessen-Kassel were sympathetic to Calvinism, which created an intellectual atmosphere that not only tolerated Paracelsianism, not unlike that of Hemmingsen’s Copenhagen, but fostered religio Paracelsica as well.
